For meniscal allograft transplant, the double bone plug technique involves medially implanting the meniscal allograft with rigid fixation at both horn attachments. The technique can also correct meniscal deficiency using bone plugs and minimally invasive suspensory fixation and allows the meniscal allograft to maintain functional hoop stress.

Procedure

The Double Bone Plug technique for meniscal tear/deficiency utilizes bone plugs that can either be prepared freehand or by using a coring reamer. The freehand technique is performed using rongeurs and a high speed burr. For detailed information about this technique and/or Arthrex products utilized in this technique, visit the educational resources tab or products tab below. The double bone plug technique for meniscal allograft reconstruction provides a method for implanting the meniscal allograft medially with rigid fixation at both horn attachments. It has been demonstrated that bony fixation and bony healing at the attachment site allows for the maintenance of functional hoop stress by the meniscal allograft.

The innovative FlipCutter II all-in-one guide pin and reamer allows minimally invasive socket creation from the inside out. With the FlipCutter II drill, achieve a new level of freedom in socket positioning and access hard-to-reach areas during PCL and ACL reconstructions. This versatile drill changes from a drill pin to a retrograde reamer by simply pushing a button and sliding the blue housing forward, eliminating the need to manually flip the blade inside the joint. Retrograde reaming is ideal for hard-to-reach areas like the PCL and makes “retrodrilling” simpler. FlipCutter II drills are available in half millimeter sizes from 6 mm to 13 mm.
